Pokemon Go & Lag? - Moto G4 Questions & Answers

I am looking at buying this phone. Is anyone currently playing this game and does it lag at all? My concerns are solo and group gym battles. Are they playable? Would anyone be able to get the fps for gym battles? You can use GLTools XDA [root] or FPSMeter

Everything work fine , except FPS drop in sub-menu like showing a pokémon under pokémon menu , everything else is 60fps

That's great to hear! I almost bought the phone this morning. Sorry to keep harping on this question, but how's the solo and group gym battles? I'm worried about this the most. Do you play during the day when it gets hot? I heard the phone overheats a bit which would be underclocking and slowing down gym battles. Thanks for the reply.

no problems with battles , only the when you view the stat page of a pokémon (20fps) , everything else is 30FPS (game limitation with unity , every phone are limited to 30fps) !

That's so good to hear! I can live with lower frames when viewing my Pokemon. Battles are the only thing that matters. What software are you using to view frames? I am curious, because I use GLTools XDA. Thanks again for the feedback. What level are you and your team? A fellow blood brother?

I use gltools without tweaks ^^
I'm red , level 17 , but in France X)

Just a fair warning, if you visit a place with a lot of Pokestops (like a major city) the game can tend to lag a lot. Mostly when there's a lot of lures active because of the petals being rendered everywhere. But it's definitely still playable.

Silent Hill? Of all games you want to replay Silent Hill? That game was too damn scary for me back than and I was maybe 16 or 17.
A friend of mine recently gave me his busted xbox 360 and it came with a few games as well as Silent Hill: Homecoming. I thought I could handle it now. Nope, I was wrong. I turned out all the lights and played on my 56in with 5.1 sound system in the living room. It was too damn scary for me again. I heard every little noise in front and behind me. 10 minutes into it I took it out and was done with that evil ass game.

that's the first game i tried .
and sadly, its hardly playable.. there is a white box that appears around the characters and sometimes they just disappear in the mist..
i'll upload a screencap and a list of games i have tried..
btw.. pm me if anyone has trouble finding a good site for the roms (although google still is your best friend for that )
edit: Screencaps added.
well, now that i tried it again.. the game isn't too unplayable.. I'll try finding a ripped rom.. maybe that works better.
Can someone see if metal gear solid works?
Sent from my Nexus One
ugh guys i ran into an issue i forgot about. if youre using the on screen keyboard, the nexus one multitouch screen is the issue. i was playing RE1 and i forgot that i had to hold the R+L button to use the weapon n sadly, we cant do that on our devices
**EDIT: FF7 seems to work fine. FF8 works fine except for the video at the very beginning of the game. i will test out MG Solid later on in the day**

Hahaha, that's the point. The sound of static was never the same afterward. I love love love this series (at least, up to SH3). It's probably going to be a lot less scary on a 3.7 in screen anyway.

RE runs good but the multitouch screen issue is a problem. if youre using a bluetooth control then it should work fine
Where did you get RE from tho? and what is everyone setting their fps to? default or something else?

Sry Marvel vs Capcom Clash of the Super Heroes!
Yea.
Also, that game isn't running full speed and the video shows it pretty clearly. It really stood out when you were jabbing with Ryu, but then the jumps and the like were slow-mo compared to what they should be. Also, you were throwing out medium fireballs, and
I don't doubt that your phone is runing at 50 fps, but that app isn't running that game at it's proper refresh rate.
And I'm sorry. Don't take it personal. I'm just a fighting game NUT, and play this game pretty regularly, so it's hard not to be nitpicky.
Here's hoping it gets there... and here's double hoping that someone decides to make a dreamcast emulator!
I'm running CPS2HD with Wii mote and game works perfect

That little essay you typed out was complete bull****. The game runs perfectly. The tabbing thing is because I wasn't doing the move correctly also I'm not even sure if multi-touch works or not.
Well it is being rendered at 50 FPS. Anything after that is beyond my control.
In other words, the game is running great, and when I get my wii mote to play it, it will run well.

So... it running in slow mo is perfect?
... gotcha.
And the jab had nothing to do with you inputting it wrong. I didn't say input lag, I was talking about the animations on the screen. In that game, most jabs are between 2-4 frames, and in your video, even from eye sight it's beyond that. If you've ever even played these games before, you'd know that their arms don't just stick out for a few frames on jab. They go right back. That's why they're JABS and not medium or fierce strikes.
Anyways, game was slow. From reading the reviews, the application itself has quite a bit of work to do in general, making it especially weird that you're acting "butt hurt" over the game not running correct.
Glad you're enjoying the app., but I'm chiming in because the game obviously isn't running perfectly as stated, and it's a paid app., so false statements on it could potentially waste people's money.
But anyways yea... ummmmmm... I've said what I have to say, so, I'm just going to ignore your next troll post calling it bull****.
Sweet that they got the PS emu out finally, now they just need to get it to work with a ps3 controller and we are set.
btw, just because it tries for 50fps does not mean it is going to get it. If you watch the vid frame by frame you may be able to see if the fps drops below 15 or so

Download 7 zip, install
Extract the file you downloaded from popular rom site
You get a .bin.ecm file
then download ecm100
extract it
click the .bin.ecm file
drag it over unecm in the ecm100 folder
you get a .bin file
rename, play
ive paid for this app in the market but i still cant get it to download successfully... google has locked up the app for some reason, the dev has his email setup to auto-respond saying that he's working on it

Gaming on Mi A1

Hello everyone
I have been using this Mi A1 from a month or so and playing games like 8 ball pool,shadow fight 2,asphalt 8,clash of clans and more.
Whenever i play shadow fight 2 there appears a message saying that the FPS(frames per second) on this device is low please set the graphics quality to low and after doing that the game lags like hell.
And even 8 ball pool difficult to play as aiming is really difficult.
Then i searched the internet and found something in developer options Force 4X MMSA for increasing FPS but after enabling that the game still lagged.
Has anyone experienced the same problem as i did or it is just my phone.
And my device is not rooted.
Please tell your experience and if you know the solution to my problem.
Thanks in advance
Everythink works fine on me. No lag on shadow fight 2. I've done 4-5 fights in row and everything runs smothly.

Thank you for giving me your company??.

Got the solution.
Just reflash the stock rom.img file via fastboot it works pretty well for me.

Gaming performance really, REALLY bad

I've had this phone before the Oreo update. Antutu V6 showed super smooth graphics... that apparently don't translate into real-world usage.
For this example I'll talk about Real Racing 3, but it goes for any game.
On Nougat it would have this bug where it would run at about 40fps, then when I paused and resumed the race, it would be at a smooth 60fps for about 2 seconds. Thought the Oreo update would allow 60fps all the time like I know it should do.
I downloaded Real Racing 3 again after months, and now on default settings, at 1080p, I get about 15-25fps constantly. Pausing and resuming doesn't help any more.
So this game and many others that I used to love and play at a decent framerate on my previous phone, which had adreno 330 graphics, look almost unplayably horrid. Even skips frames on games like Color Switch which runs without a hitch on my brother's Moto C.
It's seriously worse than I would expect even a $200 device to be! And this phone cost $650 at release?!
Anyone else had these issues? Has anyone solved this for themselves?
Thanks.
I was having the same issue.If you have updated by OTA then flash the rom again using LGUP & do a factory reset using keys.I was getting heavy lag on MCVS,PUBG & heat issue almost same as yours.My issue is gone now.Also don't forget to turn off break time on Oreo in game center.
Look how smooth it runs now while screen recorder is on at 2k.

What are any major places where flashing the firmware could go wrong, and does the device need to be rooted? Thanks again!
Thats why i never play mobile Crap Games on a Phone, i dont like to charge again after 2 Hours.
Buy a Computer or Playstation, this is just a much better feeling, than those mobile Crap with tons of Ads.

I'm a PC gamer as well. Unfortunately I can't take my rig with me to places and use it on the bus or whatever, and there are no PC versions of most of the games I play and enjoy on the phone. We don't need posts like this, thanks.
Anyway, I think it must partly be optimisation because CSR2 is running smoothly.
Edit: sometimes

For All The People Who Faces Lag in Games or Generally using the device!

Today I found something interesting happened to my phone it was running buttery smooth like it should be (821), and most of all the game i play everyday wasnt lagging at all, PUBG
Solution: DO NOT USE SMART CLEANING app or any other kind of it, your phone will start running smooth in next 3 4 days or maybe less.
Try this and share me your experiences.
Comment to let me know you're trying this.
Thanks. I'll give it a try and see if it makes a difference, because the amount of lag I experience while playing Cytus II is unbearably bad and makes the game nearly unplayable.
So dont use anything at all and itll work smooth? ok ill try that
Hi
Are you referring to the Smart Doctor build in app?
Did you disable or uninstall it?
It's been 3 days and I've reached a verdict. Doing as the OP said actually made games run better. By that, I mean I disabled Smart Cleaning via LG Package Disabler and deleted Google Files Go.
I'm not kidding about this helping. Cytus II is playable now at full 1440p 60fps, with very few lagspikes. Other games I've played, like Alto's Odyssey, run somewhat better as well.
Go try it out yourself, it may help a lot!

After a factory reset a couple days ago the antutu graphics benchmark got noticeably choppier, especially the "marooned" scene which was previously completely fluid. That was a disappointment since that was one of the reasons for going through that process! I've now removed Google files go and I will see if that makes a difference, I hope it does. If so, thank you in advance.
Btw I think you meant "1440p" (QHD) not "2160p", that's 4k! ?

This is serious guys, I deleted Smart Cleaning by ADB and my gaming experience increase magically, Shadowgun Legends can run quite good with Ultra high 60fps setting, it couldn't do that before. Unbelievable
PS: Tested only with latest Android 7.0
I have zero lag and i use smart doctor every other day.

Well, two weeks from when i see this thread and i stop using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app, just to say, this guy is right, using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app will (somehow, and i dont know how and why) make you phone laggy and in my tests if i open it like between 2 or 3 days and make a clean all UI and the app frezzes and i need to wait almost 1 minute to phone get out of the app and all be OK again.
So, my test really gives reason to this guy and i will delete the app from the phone, and i recomend all people with rooted G6 to do the same and use CCleaner instead to clean cache from apps and so on...
to the guy who discover the guilty of the lag: i cant pay you a beer, but you will be my hero forever.
Not working for me unfortunately... Still quite a bit of lag playing heavier games like csr2, Rr3 (practically unplayable), hungry shark world ?
I've had the phone since September last year and I don't think I've used it for more than 10 times. It lags anyway. Lowering the resolution does wonders, but it has some bugs that I don't like so I've switched back to lag.

If you are rooted, I highly recommend installing the new Adreno 530 driver, there is a decent improvement in games and definitely in Antutu...
does this stil work as of now?
This reads like bull****. What is "smart cleaning"? Is it supposed to be an app? The instructions are super unclear.
Smart Doctor cannot be disabled either. You can just disable it running in the background.
